[quote=fakestories]i definitely recommend include: the met museum, MoMa (i think there's still this really neat Picasso cut-out exhibition) [/quote]
They're Henri Matisse cut-outs
i went in november they were beautiful! i love the blue nudes
[quote=RitoPls]Uh,
Brooklyn is the best place in the world.
Thanks.[/quote]
lmao
@RitoPls: sure thing bud
[quote=Beloveable]Soho for shopping! If you're into Korean food def go to Ktown at 32nd near Herald square.
just don't go to flushing, I don't recommend it if you're just "visiting".
and yeah for sure like you said, be sure to check out times sq. maybe even get to watch a Broadway musical cause they're tons of fun!
oh yeah omg I go to school in Manhattan so I'd definitely recommend 59th Columbus circle since there's a real nice mall there. And right by there is 66th Lincoln center which is beyond beautiful-especially at night. You even get to see Juilliard!
hope u enjoy your stay here tho. I feel like NY isn't the greatest place to live but one of the greatest places to visit. Have fun![/quote]

hahaha
Thank you very much @fakestories ! I think we are for sure going to the place you recommended in China town. Traditional japanese food caught my eye so i wanna go there too! Dont think i can have as much control over where we tour because my moms already planned tons of stuff, but I'll see how it goes
shopping!
beware of taxes
Shick Shack burger place is nice.
[quote=tiesandbowties]where are you from originally?[/quote]
From Mobile, alabama
You should visit Madam Tousseau's Wax Museum. It's pretty nice,
[quote=fakestories]where are you coming from? rural or city area?
if you want a more intimate "city" experience, skip the boojie stuff like empire state, statue of liberty, times square, etc. there's a lot to see in manhattan, and same goes for the other boroughs. few stops i definitely recommend include: the met museum, MoMa (i think there's still this really neat Picasso cut-out exhibition) and the highline. if you end up at the met, central park is only a few blocks away and you can check that out. check out the villages, soHo, chinatown/little italy, and LES (all in the general vicinity) because you can find some really neat pop-up shops, boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. if you haven't visited fish-scented, cramped, real chinese environment, then emphasis on the chinatown part. LES is really great too, lots of bars and cool hang-out spots. st. marks is a neat; only a block long but definitely worth checking out if you haven't seen something like it. if you want to do some commercial shopping, i recommend soho (broadway); herald square (where the first Macy's is) and times square are pretty popular too, but it's significantly more tourist-driven than soho.
there's a lot to [i]do[/i] when you're downtown. midtown is meh, and uptown is comparably desolate. if you have time, there are pretty cool spots in brooklyn that are undergoing major gentrification. also check out the botanical garden (!)
also here are some spots i totally 500% recommend for food:
> joe's shanghai. crazy good soup dumpling place they're pretty famous for (chinatown, $)
> congee village. chinese dimsum restaurant .. also pretty famous (les/ct/right by the bridge, $$)
> tortaria. killer mexican place (union square, $$)
> thai cafe (?i think idk). crazy good thai food (2nd between 6th/7th i think, right by toy tokyo, $)
> kenka. delicious traditional japanese food. $8 for a pitcher of itchiban! (st. marks pl, $)
bunch of other great spots that can't think of.. i'll edit the post if i think of any though[/quote]
Are you a tourist guide?
Go to the Toys R Us in Times Square and ride the Ferris wheel!

Mcdonalds
I'd highly suggest the Highline walkway and Chelsea Market (nearby Google HQ as well!), just to name a few!
lmaoooo. i've lived in new york my whole life and i've never been to statue of liberty or empire state, or the twin towers when they were still up. only places in manhattan i eat in are in chinatown queens got some nice korean bbq places too. the food in ny is really not that great, just overpriced. and times square is pretty much just a tourist trap i don't even know what's interesting to do in NY
There are some really beautiful things here, but the two things you can't forget to check out while you're here is the extremely ghetto black people and the Indian drivers that think they can drive anyway they want.
